I reckon Saad might be the most important acquisition for us. Not because he’ll be the most influential player as I don’t think he will be. I just think he adds elite pace and therefore opens McKenna and McGrath up for damages elsewhere. It’s a great position to be in.
I hope you are correct. I’m just not sold on him being an elite or near enough to it midfielder. I don’t have an opinion either way as I haven’t seen enough to form an opinion.
However I reckon Saad frees McGrath up to be a midfielder
If Stringer continues to play the way he did in the intra club he is the most important, Smith and Saad are great additions but there is no one like Stringer on our list in terms of what he can bring.
I think it is wonderful and encouraging that we can genuinely argue over which of these three new trades will be the most important for us. Even one of them will bring something important to the side - having three is going to provide a massive improvement across the whole ground and I reckon that’s the big benefit getting the SSSs.
Been the surprise packet of the new recruits from what I’ve heard, more for the things that we probably didn’t expect. His actual strength, apparently very hard to hold down in a tackle, and his one-on-one play defensively. I can’t wait to watch him tear off the half-back line!
BT is going to love us this year. Can see him producing a Wellinghayayayayayayayayayayammmmmmmmm like call for Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddd when he chizzles one from 55m on the run.
